Gypsy Rose Blanchard is celebrating 2025 as a new mom. She and boyfriend Ken Urker have welcomed their first baby , a daughter. Urker announced the arrival on New Year’s Day on his verified Instagram account. He shared a photo of Blanchard in a hospital bed, cradling their newborn, as he leans over and places a hand on the swaddled child. “Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all,” he captioned the pic, adding an angel emoji.
USA TODAY has reached out to Blanchard’s representative for confirmation and comment.
TMZ reports that the baby was born in Louisiana on Dec. 28. Blanchard’s representative previously confirmed to USA TODAY that the couple planned to name the child Aurora Raina Urker .
